Fantastic Garden Silhouette Card

Leave a reply

image is of a stunning birthday card created with the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die

This Fantastic Garden Silhouette Card is a collaboration between me and my buddy Ruthie Burkey. I used the Garden Silhouette Hot Foil Die to apply gold foil to a piece of Blackberry Bliss cardstock. It was so gorgeous that I hated to cut the piece at all. I had originally planned to die-cut an oval or other shape and use that as a background for a simple Lily of the Valley image. However, this background is so elaborate that a simple floral image just wouldn’t work. So I called my bestie for an idea. She shared a card with this sketch and it is a perfect way to coordinate the bold background with a floral focal point that carries enough weight to balance the background.

One use of the Stampin’ Hot Foil System and I’m addicted. I have loved the foiling on store bought cards and now I can create the same look on my handmade cards! It is easy and fairly quick to use. You can find more information, ideas, and the opportunity to join me in this addiction here. The initial investment is higher than other Stampin’ Up! products but the joy the Stampin’ Hot Foil System brings is so well worth it. If you purchase the system by the end of the year, a free online class is included teaching you how to make four cards using various techniques. In addition, if you purchase the system through my online store, As a thank you gift, I will send you for free the Classic Greetings Hot Foil Dies when they are back in stock.

I love this 5″ x 7″ beautiful Autumn Toile Side-step card! While I was not very excited about the Autumn Toile Designer Series paper (165882) at first, I find I have used it more and more and love the cards that are the result. Part of what makes this card so beautiful is the gorgeous Earthen Toned Metallic Paper (165901). I used it as a layer behind the dsp layers and the shine adds an elegant touch. I stamped, colored, and die-cut the focal point with one of the images in the Amber Autumn Bundle (165893).

Supplies used for the Beautiful Autumn Toile Side-step Card

  • Amber Autumn Bundle
  • Autumn Toile Designer Series Paper – 1 piece 2 1/8″ x 2 5/8″, 2 pieces 2 1/8″ x 2 7/8″

Beautiful Debossed Traditional Wreath Card

Leave a reply
handmade Christmas Card created with inking the debossed side of the Traditional Wreath 3D embossing folder

I created this beautiful debossed traditional wreath card using the Traditional Wreath 3D embossing folder that is a part of the stunning Traditions of Christmas Suite (165877) found on pages 21 – 27 in the September – December 2025 Mini Catalog. This is a large embossing folder that creates a 6″ x 6″ square card if you use the whole wreath.

I stumbled onto this design while I was playing with the embossing folder and inked up the embossing folder with ink before embossing a piece of cardstock. Inking the depressed side of the folder results in the background being colored with the raised portions being mostly white. Then I sponged the ink into the depressed portions of the debossed side and came up with the above image. I love the way it turned out. For texture and interest on the bow, I die cut it out of one of the designs of the beautiful Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Supplies needed for this beautiful debossed Traditional Wreath card

  • Traditional Labels Bundle (165865)
  • Christmas Greenery Dies (165870)
  • Traditional Sparkling Sequins (165875)
  • Basic White Cardstock (166780) 6″ x 12″ scored and folded at 6″, 5 3/4″ x 5 3/4″
  • Real Red Cardstock (102482) 5 7/8″ x 5 7/8″
  • Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper (167364) scrap of the solid red/gold
  • Real Red Classic Stampin’ Pad (147084)
  • Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad (147090)
  • Traditional Wreath 3D Embossing Folder (165874)
  • Sponge Daubers (133773)
  • Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine 149653)
  • Stampin’ Seal (152813)
  • For your conveniencelick on this link for a shopping cart filled with these products. You can delete any you already have.

Technique for Beautiful Debossed Traditional Wreath Card

  • Sponge Old Olive ink into the depressed side of the embossing folder just in the area of the wreath. Then add Basic White cardstock and emboss with the Stampin’ Cut and Emboss machine.
  • Adhere the layers with Stampin’ Seal
  • Use the bow die from the Christmas Greenery dies to cut a bow from the scrap of Traditions of Christmas Specialty Designer Series Paper. (I love the gold foiling!) Apply to wreath.
  • Stamp greeting with stamp from the Traditional Labels stamp set with Real Red ink.
  • Add Traditional Sparkling Sequins.

Since this card is 6″ x 6″, it will be difficult to buy an envelope to fit. Here is a tutorial to make an envelope from designer series paper or lightweight cardstock.

I love the way this Fence Fancy Fold card turned out. It is a Z-fold card with 3/4″ strips forming the Z part of the card. While it looks difficult, It really isn’t. The most difficult part is cutting and gluing the pieces of designer series paper. Here is another view of the card.

Easy Slider Gift Card

Easy Slider Gift Card created with Storybook Moments dsp

This easy slider gift card holder can also hold a teabag or just be a fun greeting card. Depending of the designer series paper you use, it can be for a baby shower, bridal shower, everyday greeting card or a masculine card. While the cute little mouse would not be very masculine, adding a flower pot or gardening gloves would change it into a more masculine card. The fun part is when you open the card.

Sweet Days of Autumn Bundle

Leave a reply

The Sweet Days of Autumn Designer Series Paper can not only be purchased by itself but also as a Sweet Days of Autumn Bundle which includes a coordinating sticker sheet.

photo is of the Sweet Days of Autumn Bundle with a sticker sheet

This Sweet Days of Autumn bundle is perfect for scrapbooking as it includes four double-sided sheets each of three combinations. There is one combination of the trees on one side and darling forest animals on the other. (Too bad the reverse of each pattern wasn’t a neutral pattern.) The stickers quickly add details to a scrapbook page.

One year we flew to Boston from Seattle to view the famous fall colors in New England. Unfortunately the day we flew in, there was a huge storm with lots of wind and all the red leaves blew off the trees. What a disappointment! However the low bush cranberry fields were still in glorious reds. I used the stickers on this simple page of some of the photos taken on this trip. I computer generated the ‘New England’ and my journaling.

I sure will miss the funny Hey Chuck bundle. The Hey Chuck bundle works so well with the Hey Birthday Chick Bundle and the Hey Chick bundle that are already retired. The Hey Chuck stamp set has already sold out but the dies, Hey Chuck Dies (161552) are still available. If you have the stamp set but not the dies, snap them up now! They are on sale. These are my favorite cards using Hey Chuck.

Making Space for the New

Banner that announces the Last Chance Products Sale April 9-30

Stam[in’ Up! is making space for the new products that are in the new 2024-2025 Annual Catalog. Some of the items are on sale at a good discount but most are at regular price. The important thing is that for even products that are being carried over into the new catalog, the bundle prices will be discontinued. You can see the Last Chance products for the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog here and for the Jan – April mini catalog here. Check them out and make a list of what you still want to buy. I really recommend you get the refill inks for the 2022-2024 In Color ink pads because they will sell out very quickly. After April 9 I recommend you check the availability of any item by going to my online store and placing your order there.

Price Increases

Like so many companies these days, Stampin’ Up! is having to raise the price of the cardstock, ink refills, Stampin’ Blends,and other staples. Now is the time to stock up on your favorites!

Making Space for the New Catalog

Yes, Stampin’ Up! is making space for the new, and the new is very exciting! I love the organization of the new catalog. Stampin’ Up! has identified three types of stampers. There are those who just want to ‘get it done’ step by step. The kits are especially great for them because everything except for a minimum of stamping is done in advance. There are even some kits where all you have to do is punch out embellishments and glue them down. And the art work of these kits is wonderful. The recipient of one of these cards would never guess that the card was that simple to make.

The second type of stamper is one who wants to make a card quick and easy. They need a card and they need it quickly without a lot of supplies or fussing. There is a section in the catalog with this type stamper in mind and all the supplies for quick and easy card making.

Stampin’ Up! is also making space fo the new products a stamper who wants creativity their way. These stampers want to have everything and try new techniques. They want to have endless options.

Which type stamper are you? I can help you with your stamping needs no matter how you like to stamp. Just contact me!
